Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

Wondered why we had not seen many birds feeding at the bird table and nut feeders and then saw that they were too busy building their nests ready for their new clutch of eggs. The coal tits have been very enterprising and collect the cats fur that we throw out of the window after giving them a daily brush. We reckon they must have the best nests in the forest. Meanwhile the robins have been busy collecting any oddments on the ground - bits of twig and moss and even pieces of the plastic membrane from under the pebbles.
The bees are now working non stop and are buzzing away in the daffodils and on the young fruit just appearing on the wild blueberry bushes growing everywhere.
